Almost everything that happens in a firm flows through informal networks builts by advice, coordination, cooperation, friendship, gossip, knowledge, and trust. In this book, Ron Burt builds upon his celebrated work on network analyses to explain how these informal networks functions and the role of network entrepreneurs who have amassed social capital. Burt shows that social capital is a critical element in business strategy. Who has it, how it works and how to develop it have become key questions as markets, organizations and careers become more and more dependent on informal discretionary relationships. Informal relations have always mattered. What is new is the range of activities in which they now matter, and the emerging clarity we have about how they create advantage for certain people at the expense of others. This advantage is created by brokerage and closure. Brokerage is the activity of people who live at the intersecting of social worlds, who can see and develop good ideas. Closure is the tightening of coordination on a closed network of people. Brokerage and Closure explores how these elements work together to define social capital, showing how in the business world reputation has come to replace authority and reward has come to be associated with achieving competitive advantage in a social order of continuous disequilibrium.

L’acteur Helmut Berger fut considéré comme « le plus bel homme du monde ». Repéré en Italie par le réalisateur Luchino Visconti, il interprète pour ce dernier de grands rôles aux côtés de Romy Schneider, Elisabeth Taylor, Charlotte Rampling ou Burt Lancaster. Les relations qui unissent alors l’acteur au cinéaste ne se limitent pas au cadre professionnel. Berger est blond, Berger est beau, et Berger couche. Mais à la mort du grand maître Italien en 1976, sa carrière perd de sa superbe. Personnalité cinématographique incontournable, célèbre interprète de personnages sulfureux, Berger finit par être victime de son image et sombre dans une décadence autodestructrice. Et puis vint le récent « Saint Laurent » réalisé par Bertrand Bonello dans lequel Helmut Berger campe le célèbre couturier à la fin de sa vie. Une prestation très remarquée à Cannes en 2014, qui replace Helmut Berger dans le cinéma et le meilleur. Dans cette autobiographie épicée, à l’image d’un Richard Burton ou d’un Gainsbourg, essoré par l’alcool et la drogue, Helmut Berger transgresse tous les tabous. Il nous livre entre autres ses explorations de toutes les formes de sexualité, les grandes aspirations de sa vie, son amour pour Luchino Visconti, et ses amitiés avec Rudolf Noureev, Grace Kelly, Aristoteles Onassis, Maria Callas, Stavros Niarchos, Jack Nicholson et Romy Schneider.

Tragedy thrusts married Lefties Jessie and Teddy Carll into the role of parents when Teddy's rich, bigoted sister and her husband are killed in a car accident and his sister's children move into their home. Reprint. NYT. LJ.

When The Future of Marriage was first published it was immediately acclaimed as a classic contribution to the literature of marriage and of sex roles.  In it, the eminent sociologist Jessie Bernard argued that in ever marriage there are actually two marriages―his and hers―and that sociological data reveals that marriage is more beneficial for men than for women.  The institution of marriage will survive, asserted Bernard, but only to the extent that attention is paid to the features that make it a less attractive option for women than for men.  In a new edition of this pioneering work, Bernard provides a fresh introduction and update showing what has changed and what has remained the same since her book was first published.  Bernard’s discussion of the evolution in marital behavior, perspective, and knowledge in the last decade underscores the relevance of her initial study; the disparity between his and her marriages, hotly debated when it was first proposed, is now a basic assumption in our thinking.As Bernard predicted, couples today are struggling to improve the institution of marriage for both participants, by working out dual careers, shared parenthood, and a combination of personal autonomy and family cooperation.  The Future of Marriage remains an essential resource―to those who are studying the family and those who are creating one.
